This roadmap is a reminder to myself what I aim to achieve over the next couple of months (I am not giving firm dates here, out of experience...). I put it online just in case anyone stumbles across it and is willing / able to contribute (I particularly think of form20 results, which tend to be a major hassle to scrape)

This roadmap is a reminder to myself what I aim to achieve for future releases (no firm timeline, though). I put it online just in case anyone stumbles across it and is willing / able to contribute (I particularly think of form20 results, which tend to be a major hassle to scrape and cleanup)

##First proper release:

For the first official release of this dataset, I aim to import and double-check all Uttar Pradesh data that was formerly hosted on my personal website. Specifically, these tasks are still open:

* Add actual data from rolls in 2012 and 2013 and double check lastupdate for both

* Add frontpage stuff from rolls in 2014 into upid

* Wait for a few weeks to see whether any bugs crop up, then make the formal release

For the first official release of this dataset, covering Uttar Pradesh from 2007 to 2014, all data is now incorporated - I just wait for a couple of weeks before making a formal release, to see whether any conspicuous bugs crop up...

##Second proper release:

Once UP is dealt with properly, I will expand to all-India level for the 2014 general elections. Namematching might not cover all states because it eats tons of resources - lets see. Anyway, this would be desirable:

Once UP is dealt with properly, I intend to expand to all-India level for the 2014 general elections. Namematching might not cover all states because it eats tons of resources - lets see. Anyway, this would be desirable:

* Add 2014 Lok Sabha booth level results for more states (to the extent that it is halfway easily accessible)

* Add namematching data from electoral rolls for 2014 across more states (about half of them done already)
